Comprehensive Needs Assessment
The Capt. Walter E. Clarke Middle School Campus Improvement Plan (CIP) is prepared in accordance with requirements of Chapter 11, Subchapter F, of the Texas Education Code, specifically §11.251 and §11.252. These requirements are also contained in SISD policies BQ (Legal) and BQA (Legal). Each school shall have a Campus Improvement Plan that is developed, evaluated and revised annually, in accordance with district policy, by the principal with the assistance of the campus-level committee. The purpose of the Campus Improvement Plan is to guide campus staff in the improvement of student performance for all student groups in order to attain state standards in respect to academic excellence indicators.

The CIP is required by statute to include the following components:
• Comprehensive Needs Assessment
• Measurable campus performance objectives
• Strategies for improvement of student performance
• Description of resources needed to implement identified strategies
• Description of staff responsible for accomplishing each strategy
• Timelines for implementation of each strategy
• Formative evaluation criteria
• Summative evaluation criteria

In developing the 2009-2010 CIP, the WCMS School Improvement Team (SIT), comprised of elected members representing all campus departments, along with a parent representative, analyzed data sources, met in committee to review the Comprehensive Needs Assessment, proposed Performance Objectives and in August 2009 will recommend approval.

Comprehensive Needs Assessment

Introduction:

This needs assessment was created by various faculty and staff of Capt. Walter E. Clarke Middle School, representing most campus departments. The goals contained within are aligned to district/state goals. A needs assessment was conducted to determine our strengths and weaknesses. This assessment included the review of student assessment data from various sources such as the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS), TAKS performance in reading, math, science, social studies and writing disaggregated by student populations that included Hispanic and Economically Disadvantaged, Limited English Proficient and Special Education. Other data reviewed by the committee included the Title I Adequate Yearly Progress requirements, TAKS-A results, benchmark assessments, ARMS reports, dropout rates for grades 6-8, attendance rates, Olweus Bullying Prevention Program student survey results data and discipline reports/data. Performance objectives, which are aimed at increasing student achievement across the board, were then discussed and agreed upon. Available campus, district and community resources were evaluated and incorporated into the strategies listed under each objective. Student progress will be monitored via several avenues such as 3 and 6-week progress reports, 9-week report cards, district and state-mandated testing and reading assessments at the beginning and end of the school year (TMSFA).

The selected data sources were analyzed and summarized in order to target the seven District goals. The needs assessment is based on longitudinal and current year data disaggregation of: 1) student performance by demographics and ethnicity to align curriculum, 2) technology needs as referenced in technology plan, 3) retention of highly qualified staff and professional development, 4) safe and drug-free learning environment, 5) parental involvement in the learning process, 6) college-ready opportunities and 7) facilities that optimize the learning environment. Incorporated into the plan are areas for improvement of student performance documented as measurable objectives followed by strategies/activities and/or programs.

Student Findings and Strengths

Goal 1: We will increase the levels of all students’ performance in all grade levels in all TAKS content areas by establishing benchmarks, aligning instructional content, and assessing data to increase student achievement and high graduation rates in compliance with No Child Left Behind requirements.
The 2008 district accountability data reveals that Walter Clarke Middle School received a rating of “Academically Acceptable”; in 2009 Walter Clarke Middle School also received a rating of "Academically Acceptable”.

TAKS gains were made in most content areas. The most notable improvements were in Science with a gain of 7 percentage points and in Math with a gain of 5.5 percentage points for all students. In Reading we remained the same at 94% for all students. In Writing, 98% of all students met standard, an increase of 4 percentage points. In Social Studies there was an increase of 1% from last year.

Capt. Walter E. Clarke Middle School has set the following expectations in the different content areas for all subgroup populations for the 2009-2010 school year. The goals listed below include 6th grade as we will be adding 6th grade to our campus in the coming year:
* Reading: from 92% in May 2009 to 95% by May 2010
* Mathematics: from 87.3% in May 2009 to 90% by May 2010
* Science: from 70% in May 2009 to 80% by May 2010
* Writing: from 98% in May 2009 to 99% by May 2010
* Social Studies: from 93% in May 2009 to 95% by May 2010
These expectations are set with the district’s expectation of reaching “Recognized” status in 2010.

Under the accountability provisions in the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, all public school campuses, school districts, and the state are evaluated for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). Middle school campuses are required to meet AYP criteria on two measures: Reading and Mathematics. If a campus that is receiving Title I, Part A funds and fails to meet AYP for two consecutive years, that campus is subject to certain requirements such as offering supplemental education services, offering school choice, and/or taking corrective actions. The Texas Education Agency’s Office of Accountability and Data Quality indicates that the 2009 preliminary Title I AYP requirements reflect that Capt. Walter E. Clarke Middle School will meet AYP requirements.

In an effort to assist these students with provisions set by NCLB, the campus’s instructional team members will work closely with the teachers to ensure the performance objectives set forth in our campus improvement plan, are met by the end of the school year. By carrying out all proposed intervention strategies, students will reach the campus goals for the 2009-2010 school year. Examples of proposed intervention strategies include, but are not limited to the following: Academic Reinforcement Mentoring Initiative (ARMI), Optional Extended Year Program (OEYP), ESL Academy, Achieve 3000, after-school tutoring, Saturday camps, summer school, math lab after school every day, open technology labs and READ 180.

The CNA Committee identified the following strengths and needs for Goal 1:
Strengths: 1) WCMS continues to experience gains in student achievement across the board, 2) we have hired a highly qualified math/science curriculum coach to assist with our greatest areas of need and 3) we provide a multitude of intervention activities/programs for our students in order to offer them the best chance at success.
Needs: 1) continued additional support in the area of science, 2) more resources in the areas of science and math and 3) increased participation from district instructional specialists in order to assist our campus in better accessing district resources.
